Facts About Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that you can see just under the surface of the skin. They usually occur in the legs, but can also form in other parts of the body. Varicose veins are a common condition that affect many people, especially as they get older. They occur when the veins lose their elasticity and the valves that regulate blood flow become weak. As a result, blood can flow backward and pool in the veins, causing them to enlarge and become twisted. Symptoms of varicose veins can include aching, swelling, and skin discoloration.
It is important to note that varicose veins can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, such as deep vein thrombosis, so it is important to seek medical advice if you are experiencing symptoms.
Varicose veins are caused by a number of factors, including:
Genetics: Some people have a genetic predisposition to developing varicose veins, which means that the condition tends to run in families.
Age: As people grow older, the valves in their veins can become weaker, leading to the development of varicose veins.
Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy, puberty, and menopause, can also increase the risk of developing varicose veins.
Obesity: Excess weight can put extra pressure on the veins, causing them to enlarge and become varicose.
Prolonged standing or sitting: People who stand or sit for long periods of time, such as those in certain jobs, can be at increased risk of developing varicose veins.
Trauma: An injury to the leg can damage the veins and increase the risk of developing varicose veins.
Blood clots: Blood clots can also cause veins to enlarge and become varicose.
The following are some of the common symptoms of varicose veins:
Visible, bulging veins: The most noticeable symptom of varicose veins is the appearance of bulging, twisted veins on the legs or feet.
Pain: The affected area may be painful or tender to the touch, especially after standing or sitting for long periods of time.
Swelling: Varicose veins can cause swelling in the affected area, particularly at the end of the day or after prolonged periods of standing.
Fatigue or heaviness: Some people with varicose veins may experience a feeling of tiredness or heaviness in the legs.
Itching or burning: The skin around the affected veins may itch or burn, particularly in warmer weather.
Skin changes: In some cases, the skin around the varicose veins may become discolored, thin, or dry, and may even develop sores or ulcers.
Muscle cramps: Some people with varicose veins may experience muscle cramps, particularly at night.
Stages Of Varicose Veins
It is important to seek treatment for varicose veins, even in the early stages, because they can progress and cause complications such as blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, or skin ulcers. Treatment options include lifestyle changes such as exercise, weight management, and compression stockings, as well as medical procedures such as VenaSeal, or sclerotherapy. Our doctors can help you determine the best course of action based on the severity of your varicose veins and your overall health.
Normal Leg
Phase 2 Spider Veins
Phase 3 Reticular Varicose Veins
Phase 4 Trunk Varicose Veins
Phase 5 Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Phase 6 Venous Ulcer
If left untreated, venous ulcers can lead to several complications, including:
Infection
Venous ulcers are open wounds that can become infected, especially if proper wound care is not maintained. Infections can cause further damage to the skin and underlying tissues and can lead to more serious health problems.
Cellulitis
This is a bacterial skin infection that can cause redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area. Cellulitis can spread quickly and may require hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics to treat.
Gangrene
Venous ulcers can cause tissue damage and death, which can result in gangrene, a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. Gangrene can lead to amputation of the affected limb.
Reduced mobility
Pain and discomfort associated with venous ulcers can lead to reduced mobility, which can cause muscle weakness and atrophy. Reduced mobility can also increase the risk of blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, and other complications.
Decreased quality of life
Chronic venous ulcers can cause physical and emotional distress, leading to decreased quality of life and a negative impact on mental health.
Therefore, it is essential to seek treatment for venous ulcers as soon as possible to prevent complications and improve healing outcomes. Treatment options may include wound care, compression therapy, and medications to address underlying venous insufficiency.

Why Choose VenaSeal
Best Varicose Veins Treatment
VenaSeal is a treatment option for varicose veins that is minimally invasive and uses a medical adhesive to seal the affected veins. This prevents blood from flowing backward and reduces symptoms like swelling and pain. Although no other treatment can completely guarantee that varicose veins will not recur, VenaSeal proved to be the best treatment of Varicose Veins which reduces the risk of recurrence.
One of the advantages of VenaSeal is that it is safe and effective for many patients, including those who are not good candidates for other treatments like thermal ablation. This is because VenaSeal does not use heat or energy that can potentially cause damage to surrounding tissues and increase the risk of complications.
Clinical studies have shown that VenaSeal has a low incidence of complications and a high rate of patient satisfaction. VenaSeal is not a popular treatment like endo venous laser ablation but, the current studies and evidences suggest that it offers an effective and long-lasting solution for varicose veins.

How do we know VenaSeal the best treatment
The Vein Center has a long history of successfully treating varicose veins, and its medical professionals are highly skilled in identifying the most appropriate treatment option for each patient’s individual needs. We have an extensive experience in treating varicose veins using a range of techniques, including endo venous laser ablation and vein stripping. We are always looking to most advanced and effective treatment options for our beloved patients. Check our evolution in terms of varicose veins treatment below and find out why we are Introducing and promoting VenaSeal treatment.
FROM 2008
Vein Stripping
From 2008 to 2012, we were following the traditional vein stripping method to treat the varicose veins. Disadvantage of vein stripping is that it is an invasive procedure that requires general anaesthesia, which can increase the risk of complications. The procedure can cause scarring, pain, and a longer recovery period compared to other minimally invasive treatments.
FROM 2012
Endo Venous Laser Ablation
From 2012 to first half of 2018, we have opted the Endo Venous Laser Ablation procedure to treat Varicose Veins. We have successfully treated thousands varicose veins patients with Laser procedures. Due to the nature Laser Ablation which is thermal, there were many cases of recurrent Varicose Veins. Later we have treated all of them successfully with VenaSeal procedure.
FROM 2018
VenaSeal Closure System
From the second half of 2018 to present we are treating the varicose veins patients with VenaSeal Closure System procedures. Compared to Laser Ablation we can openly say that “VenaSeal is the Most Modern and Effective treatment for Varicose Veins and Venous Ulcers in the current time”. We have received many appreciation and recognition at International level for the innovative and self made treatment protocols we developed with VenaSeal Closure System.
